Agreed. That being said, AMD is claiming that IPC is up by 40% over Excavator, and Excavator was up 15% over Bulldozer, which was used in the last line of AMD desktop CPU's. So, if Zen is indeed 55% faster than Bulldozer per core at the same clockrate, Summit Ridge should at least equal Skylake in games that only utilize 4 threads, and might even compete aganst Kaby Lake in games that utilize more than 4 threads. |
1.15 * 1.40 = 1.61
so in theory Zen would be 61% faster than Bulldozer
